I was on this site looking for a solution to a segmentation fault that occurred when attempting to run gnome-control-center. I made the poor mistake of blindly following the solution posted here without checking their technical circumstances against my own. I used the command

$ gsettings reset-recursively org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings

and then rebooted. This caused a login loop when I attempted to re-login. There was some advice posted to try reinstalling gnome-keyring or uninstalling some Nvidia drivers, however, I am not aware of the unintended consequences that may arise out of these commands. System information provided below. I am on Ubuntu 20.04 on a Thinkpad X220 running DWM as my wm.

.xinitrc File:

#!/bin/sh

setxkbmap -option caps:escape feh --bg-scale ~/Downloads/Pictures/darkforest.jpg export AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit

dwmstatus 2>&1 >/dev/null &

exec dwm

journalctl -xe output:

After attempting to put dbus-update-activation-environment --systemd DISPLAY in both my .xinitrc and .bashrc with no result, I just use Ctrl+Alt+F3 and then uninstalled xdm and reinstalled which fixed the issue.
